Protect your tower speakers

Life on the water can be hard on speakers – especially tower speakers. These durable, weatherproof 43KMTES8 tower enclosures will protect your 8" Kicker marine speakers (not included) from salt, spray, dust, and damage under even the toughest conditions.

Designed specifically for marine and powersports applications, they're built to take whatever your active outdoor lifestyle can dish out. With rugged ABS plastic shells and an acoustic polyfill lining, you get long-lasting durability and outstanding performance. The package includes 2-5/8" aluminum tower-pipe clamps and mounting adapters for three popular pipe diameters.

Whether you're mounting your Kicker speakers on a boat, an SUV, or even a Jeep, you want your music to sound great. These enclosures offer rotation in either direction, so you can aim them to achieve the best possible coverage. Slotted mounting holes accommodate different bolt patterns, while stainless-steel speaker terminals ensure quick and easy wiring connections.

Kicker also makes enclosures for their 6-1/2" and 4" marine speakers.

Audition speakers before you buy

SpeakerCompare simulates the sound of home and car speakers through your headphones. It lets you compare sonic characteristics between speakers so that you can make a more informed shopping decision.

Why selecting your headphones is important

SpeakerCompare tailors your listening experience to the exact headphones you have, so that what you hear is comparable to auditioning speakers side-by-side in person. Knowing which model headphones you’re using lets us remove any sonic coloring from your experience.

Two different listening modes

In an actual listening room, you'd find that some speakers play louder than others when fed the same amount of power. In equal power mode, you'll hear these differences in loudness as they naturally occur between speakers.

In equal volume mode, we've made the loudness of each speaker about the same. This gives you a more direct comparison of subtle voicing differences between speakers.

Nothing beats listening to speakers in your space

SpeakerCompare gives you a sense of the sonic differences. But performance in the real world is affected by the acoustics of your car or home, your choice of amplification, and your source material. We still believe that the gold standard for auditioning speakers is hearing them in your own environment — that’s why we offer a 60-day money-back guarantee.

Our Listening Kit

To help you choose the right speakers, we recommend using Crutchfield’s SpeakerCompare Listening Kit. It includes a pair of studio-quality headphones, and a guide to getting the most out of your session, and a few other necessary items. We’ve carefully chosen the components of this kit to ensure a crystal-clear listening experience. It’s available for a nominal rental fee, and includes a $25 Crutchfield merchandise credit.
